Figure 4: The extent of the human footprint within important areas for biodiversity.

From: Sixteen years of change in the global terrestrial human footprint and implications for biodiversity conservation

Figure 4

The distribution of human footprint intensity bins across (a) biodiversity hotspots28, (b) high concentrations of threatened vertebrates and (c) high concentrations of all vertebrates. High concentrations are the 10% of land areas encompassing the highest global concentrations of either threatened vertebrates or all vertebrates29,30. Green represents areas with a human footprint score of 0, and warmer colours represent higher-pressure bins.
